Your Hawkinstown correspondent shoots
very wide Of the mark in his statement
about some parties, who are in the habit
Of attending prayer meetings at Palmyra
School House, and who, on their way
home, greatly disturbed a certain gentle
man and his family, and upon one
occasion, pulled up his onions Now,
our only reason for answering this
correspondent is, that some one, supposed
to be the correspondent in question, stated
in Woodstock, on court day, that the
parties referred 10 were Edinburg boys.
Several gentlemen from this place went
to see the person whom your cores
pOndent CLAIMS has been so much dis
turbed, and he says be has censured no
one for any disturbance, and the greatest
damage to his garden was done by an old
COW. viii the party who put this depre-
dation on our boys now please give his
authority for doiDg 20.
